Hartke VX410a Replacement Cones

[phil_the_bassist]

Morning!

I've got a hartke VX410 cab, and one cone's FUBAR. I managed to find a peavey 10" cone, but the framework was about 0.25" too big for the hole and didn't fit, unless i made the hole bigger. I'd rather find some straight drop in replacements than start routing out one hole, so does anyone know where I can get a hartke replacement? Failing that does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes a direct replacement?

Cheers in advance!


[size=1]*edit*[/size] The cone in question is a hartke speaker model VLF1008, if this helps!

That'll be your 5-string blowing it up.

Taken it apart and seen what the drivers are? You might struggle to get a direct replacement - although it is a current model. Maybe worth giving their distributors Sound Tech a call.

Give me a hollar if you're stuck without a cab for a gig and I'll lend you mine if I'm not gigging it.

lol! Admittedly it's worse on the low end, but it wasn't my B, honest !

I'll give 'em a call, I wish I'd jotted the part number down when I was trying to swap it out with the peavey cone!

Thanks for the offer mate but I'm not gonna be short of a cab. I've still got my 2x15 but I wanted this'un fixed up ready for the Bassbash (I'm on the list to bring it, and I can't back down now, can I!)

I bet the Hartke paper drivers are made by Eminence.

Might look/sound a bit strange if you stick a non-matching one in there.

Yup, in the words of Harry Enfield "you don't want to do that"...

lol! you said that in the squeeky voice as well, didn't ya!

If I was to go for a non Hartke cone, I'd rather replace the lot with a complete set of high quality cones. Obviously gettin one Hartke should be cheaper ( i hope) but I really don't wanna start altering the size of the holes.

I'll shout up Eminence, see if they can recommend me a model cone that'll drop right in there...see if they do a discount for a set of 4!


OOOH!, it'll then give me 3 decent cones for a BFM something-or-other!

Try [url="http://loudspeaker.co.uk"]loudspeaker.co.uk[/url] but it might be cheaper to get a new cab.

*update*

Just got a call back from my local music shop, They can get a hartke cone for me, but it'll cost £55.

unfortunately, this is my best option as I can't find a way of gettin it meself.

At least it's now gonna be fixed and useable!
